Ronald T

Instruments: Piano Guitar Music Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I start my beginning students with Alfred guitar method. If someone wants classical lessons I start them with the Fredrick Noad books and some Sor and Segovia studies. For people interested in improvisation we begin with Blues and then take it where you want to go. Advanced students I give more master class type lessons where we discuss more advanced music ideas.

Toby M

Instruments: Piano Keyboard

I'm passionate about teaching others to love music. It is one of my greatest pleasures. I have been performing and teaching since I was a teen. I have performed both classical and original music and am currently working on a rock album writing piano and orchestra for about 12 songs. We have a Grammy-nominated producer in Denmark producing our album. Seeing new students experience learning to play is a great joy for me as well as helping an experienced student ace a RCM or other performance exam, place in a competition, or enter a music program in college.

Fiona C

Instruments: Piano Voice

For beginning students, I use the Piano Adventure Series by Nancy Faber and Randall Faber. I also use the A Thousand Stories for a Little Pianist by Katrin Arefy. My special methods in teaching young students include stories, easy duets, and singing familiar folk songs. For intermediate level students, I use different method books according to the student's interests. However, I encourage them to play Classical music, which is very useful in developing good techniques in piano playing. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Keyboard Acoustic Guitar

I am an Artist who loves to see his students succeed. I have a strong passion for music, and utilize that passion and the skills I've developed throughout my career to cultivate students into fellow Artists. My primary goal as a teacher is to tap into the potential artistry of the students. For that reason, I am not as focused on the technical skills, as I am about spotlighting the inspiration that will facilitate the student to embody the Artist with original expression and purpose in their art form.

Stefan F

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Synthesizer Keyboard Acoustic Guitar

I began teaching private lessons a year ago and have been consistently teaching private lessons at students' homes and in my home studio since then. I've discovered that focusing on students' own interests and love for music generates fun, engaging and rewarding lessons for them. Repetition and a consistent practice schedule is easier for students to continue when lessons are focused on developing the aspects of music that they love, or building skills that take them closer to their interests.

I am a currently attending SJSU for my Music Education degree. My main instrument is trombone, but I also teach beginning piano among other instruments. I love teaching, and I enjoy seeing my students learn and grown in their love and passion for music. I also currently teach at various schools around South San Jose. My passion on top of teaching is also advocating for music and groups who may not have access. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Amy P

Instruments: Violin Viola Recorder Fiddle

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I encourage my students to actively listen and take notes in their lessons so that they know exactly what to practice and how to practice it. If they need me to write down a detailed list of what skill they worked on and how to practice it, I am happy to do so in a notebook, and I will give them the notes after their lesson is over. I can also write some notes in their music if necessary.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My parents were both musicians, and they started me on violin when I was five. However, I was not really inspired to pursue music as a career until I got to college. My college professor was extremely good at explaining technical concepts, and I still incorporate his principles to this day when I teach. Since my dad was principal violist of the Chicago Symphony for several years, I was inspired to continue music after hearing the orchestra perform on a regular basis.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose my primary instrument because my parents both were violin and viola players. My father was principal violist of the Chicago Symphony, and my mother was a music educator (specialized in orchestra teaching at elementary and middle schools).

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of having the opportunity to perform the violin solo of Ein Heldenleben by Richard Strauss with the Midwest Young Artists Symphony Orchestra when I was in high school. This performance can be found on Youtube. I am also proud of performing the second viola part of Bach's Brandenburg Number 6 alongside my college viola professor at a University of Michigan faculty recital. I also am grateful for all of the solo opportunities I received by performing with the Chicago Chamber Orchestra. My recorder solo highlights include performing with Music of the Baroque and giving the US premiere of Sir Malcolm Arnold's Recorder Concerto.

When will I start to see results?
It depends on what you refer to as results. After one lesson with me, you will see a little bit of progress, but it will most likely take many lessons over several years to play and perform at a higher level. The more often you take lessons and devote some time to reinforce concepts discussed on your own time, the faster you will see improvement on your instrument.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
You will know if your child is ready to start lessons if they tell you that they are really interested in learning the instrument and learning music. If they really do not express interest, I would recommend waiting until they decide for themself that they want to put in the time and effort to learn.

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.
